Hi Uri,

I hope you will read this although it is way down due to the exciting Paderborn
results as I appreciate your posts very much.

As usual I wrote a short message and not a novel but I was serious.

As for your refferance to Enrique's Tourney: Also there Junior defeated Hiarcs;
if I remember it right it was something like 6-4.

I _love_ Hiarcs 7.32 and H701 ; for me it is the greatest prog around.

But as stenghth of major progs is very close every prog has its favourites and
it's "bad " opponents.

When I was talking about "letting them all in " I was referring to the fritz
tournaments where fritz always wins ( at least at my place ) because of its
outstanding performance against the weaker engines.

And Hiarcs _does_ have problems with Junior in every published match I have seen
depite the SSCF results.

By the way : the real _bad_ opponent for Hiarcs is Shredder , a prog Fritz will
spank almost always. See a funny example from this afternoon.
